St Illtud's Church
History Walk
The Gatehouse and Columbarium (dovecot)
These are the only surviving buildings from the Grange belonging to Tewkesbury Abbey. The abbey had been given the land, shortly before he died, by Robert Fitzhamon, Earl of Gloucester and first Norman Lord of Glamorgan. The grange was run by lay brethren and the revenues remitted to Tewkesbury. The Gatehouse, which dates from the fourteenth century, was the main entrance into the farm complex and may have served as the Bailiff's dwelling or guest house. The archway, though blocked up, is clearly visible and the height of the gable walls suggest that the building was once thatched.
The dovecot dates from the same period. Doves and pigeons were not only a source of food during winter time, their feathers were also used in pillows etc, and their droppings were spread on the land as manure. The circular form of the building enabled the maximum number of nesting places to be constructed in the walls and internal wooden platforms were usually included to give easy access to collect eggs.

Llantwit Major (in Welsh Llanilltud Fawr) is named as the site of the main church of Illtud, one of the founding Saints of the monastic settlements of the 5th century AD in Wales.
Illtud came to this sheltered valley of Hodnant in the last decades of the 5th century. On the Ogney Brook, a mile inland from the sea, close to the site of the present church he founded his monastery.
At its height this was a major centre for education and evangelism in the revived western church, its influence reaching through Cornwall and Devon to Brittany and beyond, led by the students and successors of Illtud, Samson of Dol, Gildas the Wise and Paul Aurelian. Of the nearly thirty churches dedicated to Illtud almost half are in Brittany.
One thousand five hundred years later the church and the town which grew up round it remain. All traces of Illtud's monastery are gone. The present church dates from the period 950 to 1400 AD. Other monastic remains come from the same period, while the earliest secular buildings date from the 15th century.
Before Illtud there were of course the Romans as evidenced by the villa at Caer Mead excavated in 1888. After him and his successors came the Normans.
For almost one thousand years Llantwit was a rural backwater controlled by a small number of wealthy families. They have left behind the principal houses of the town, the Ham, Boverton Place, Old Place (all ruined) and some smaller but inhabited survivals, Great House, Plymouth House, the Court House, and two public houses, the Old White Hart and the Old Swan. These latter flank the main town square, facing the 15th century Town Hall.
Only in the 20th century with the arrival of the RAF at St Athan did the town transform itself from a rural community of a thousand or so into a modern dormitory town some 15 times larger.
In the societies archives and in its publications the people and stories of this long history, from "the Legions to the Luftwaffe", are to be found.
There are no events at this time.

Graham Phillimore
Our annual lecture programme runs from September to April, lectures are given in the Llantonian Hall on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.30 pm., with refreshments provided in December and April (AGM) meetings.

A complete new experience that none of us would have the ability to endure without an adequate support system and love from relations.

2020 is the ATF's 25th
Anniversary Year!
25 Years of Support, Education,
The ATF is proud to have the support of our Ambassadors.
Dominique Rizzo
Director, Pure Food Cooking
Guest Chef, Ready Steady Cook Channel 10
Dominique Rizzo, along with Manu Feildel, attended the ATF "Big Breakfast" in Sydney's Martin Place in September 2009, as the ATF Celebrity Chefs. Dominique and Manu cooked 2000 iodine enriched breakfasts for Sydneysiders on their way to work. They both cooked from 7 am until 11.30 am without one stop! Dominique and Manu had prepared over 1000 pancakes for the event, which they served with many different versions of eggs, bacon and spinach sandwiches. They were both so energetic and enthusiastic, which made the event such a fun day. Dominique has accepted an invitation to represent the ATF as an ambassador. Dominique is delightful and an advocate for the importance of the ATF health message, iodine enriched foods to support good thyroid health. As part of Dominique's ambassadorship, she will be part of a new ATF Iodine Enriched Cookbook. This cookbook will include Dominique's recipes, ATF members recipes and other celebrity chef recipes. The cookbook will initially be sold through the ATF and will bring awareness to the importance of including iodine enriched foods in the daily diet to support good thyroid health.
Comedienne, Sideshow, ABC TV
Comedienne, Good News Week, Channel 10
Claire became an ambassador for the ATF after her enlarged thyroid gland was notice by ATF committee members watching Sideshow, ABC TV. Claire had a goitre which was noticeable. After Claire met the ATF, her health changed for the better. At 25, Claire noticed her throat look puffy and consulted her doctor who assured her it would have been growing for a long time. Claire suffered glandular fever at 17 and did not manage stress very well at the time. Claire also had a sudden change to a high soy diet, a year before she noticed the goitre. These are all reasons Claire believes contributed to cause her thyroid problem.
After 5 years of procrastination, noticing how restricted her windpipe had become and with support and education from The ATF, Claire decided to have surgery during a film break in 2007. Claire cannot believe how much better she feels. Claire believes her endocrine surgeon is "the best endocrine surgeon in Australia." Claire attended The ATF "Big Breakfast" events in Sydney's Martin Place in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Claire's humour and personality attracted Sydneysider's on their way to work. Claire encouraged passing pedestrian traffic to enjoy an iodine enriched breakfast at the ATF marquee.
Bree Amer
Big Brother 2004 Housemate
Big Brother Friday Night Live Host 2005/2006/2007
Big Brother Sunday Night Up late Host 2007
During 2005 Big Brother "Friday Night Live", a doctor watching the show noticed a lump in the region of Bree's thyroid gland. He was concerned enough to try and contact Bree through the show, without success. One year on, the doctor had a patient who knew Bree through Big Brother. The patient passed on the doctor's advice for her to get her thyroid gland investigated. Bree believes without Big Brother, the persistence of the doctor, Bree's outcome may have been totally different, as she had no idea she had a thyroid problem.
Bree was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. After two operations and radiation treatment, Bree has recovered extremely well. Bree credits her ongoing good thyroid health to the support and education she receives from The ATF. Bree has accepted her Ambassadorship with open arms and wants to do whatever she can to help The ATF and raise awareness of our important health messages. Bree has spoken at ATF thyroid information sessions, Thyroid Awareness Week launches, Fundraisers and is always available whenever she is asked.
Many members of Bree's family have thyroid disorders and she has become a campaigner to them with all the information she has received from The ATF.
Kamahl
Singer/Entertainer/TV Personality
Kamahl was introduced to The ATF by our medical advisor, Professor Leigh Delbridge in 2005. Kamahl had a total thyroidectomy after becoming seriously ill and diagnosed with an enlarged thyroid gland which had put his life in turmoil. Kamahl could no longer sing and was very unwell, also being diagnosed with sleep apnea, which seemed to be related to the size of his thyroid gland. After surgery, Kamahl had a complete recovery, his voice now better than ever. Kamahl is a fine example of how proper diagnosis is so important and Kamahl has made a full recovery. Kamahl is a wonderful ambassador to The Australian Thyroid Foundation Ltd. Kamahl attended the ATF 2005 Thyroid Information Day at Parramatta and delighted the audience by singing his favourite song to show us all how his singing voice had returned and had improved following surgery.
Michael Vella
Ex Parramatta Eels Premier League Player
Michael became an ambassador to The ATF after Parramatta Eels Rugby League Club 2005 Community Awareness Program chose The ATF to be their beneficiary. It was a great shock to hear a young Parramatta footballer was diagnosed with thyroid cancer after a blow to the neck during a football game. Michael's voice became very husky, so tests were ordered resulting in thyroid cancer. After having his thyroid totally removed and radiation treatment, Michael has recovered extremely well and has continued with his football career. That lucky blow to the neck probably saved Michael's life without it, it would have not been diagnosed and Michael's life may have been in danger. Michael helped The ATF sell Gold Bows at a home game at the Parramatta which was a great success and televised on The Footy Show. The Eels also presented The ATF with a donation following fundraising events organized by the club. Michael has gone onto become a father and is now playing rugby league in the UK.
Antoinette Lattouf
Antoinette was diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disease in late 2019, after a viewer saw her on Network 10's morning show, Studio 10, and wrote a comment on the program's Facebook page asking if Antoinette had ever had her thyroid checked, as she thought the lump in her neck was concerning.
As the viewer who sent the message wasn't a doctor, Antoinette and her Editor initially shrugged it off. However, after re-watching the Studio 10 clip in question, Antoinette was shocked to see a lump on her neck that she hadn't previously noticed.
With a family history of thyroid cancer and thyroid disease, Antoinette went to see her GP to be checked out. After undertaking blood tests, an ultrasound and a CT scan, her doctor confirmed she had a thyroid autoimmune disease – but also revealed she had a large cyst just above her voice box, which needed surgery.
Antoinette's doctors told her that while the cyst was benign, if they hadn't caught it at the time, it would have likely impacted her "ability to breathe, speak and swallow if left untreated". Antoinette has now had the cyst removed and is extremely grateful for the viewer who brought the issue to her attention.

Jess Hall
Jess was diagnosed with thyroid disease in 2018, after presenting to her GP with what she thought were symptoms from a previous diagnosis of glandular fever a few years before. After running tests to confirm Jess had thyroid disease, her doctor also discovered she had a '15cm-long tumour in her throat and neck'.
Her doctors suspected the tumour (thyroid nodule) had been there and growing for over 10 years, and although it was found to be benign, they recommended Jess have it removed. After more than four hours in surgery, Jess' thyroid nodule was removed.
Thankfully for Jess, her health scare and experience gave her the push to change her life. This led to her decision to sign-up for the 2019 season of MasterChef. While she didn't win the competition, Jess is continuing to pursue her cooking dreams and is the founder of Well Fed, which makes Australian handmade cultured compound butters. She now works in the food industry full-time.

Read More As Fireflight prepare to release its first new album in over three years, 'INNOVA', we speak to vocalist Dawn Michele about the band and what's new with their fifth full-length album.
INNOVA is our first independent release since leaving our label of the past eight years. We have never been more excited about creating music. INNOVA is Latin for renew, and we feel like we are at a crossroads not only as a newly independent artist, but also as people and musicians. We find ourselves with a unique opportunity to stand on the solid history we have built as a band and reach forward towards growth and the evolution of our sound.
Which is your favorite track on the album and why?
I have a lot of favorites on this album because there is so much variety that I find myself having a favorite in a lot of different categories. One of my favorites is a song we've already started playing live which is "Keep Fighting." I love it because it just makes me feel pumped, but also because it talks about fighting for the people that we love. We live in a disposable society, where we even throw people away when things get tough. "Keep Fighting" is a promise to stand up against taking the easy way out, and instead be someone that people can count on when they are hurting.
How does the sound differ to the 2012 album 'Now'?
With NOW we set out to move away from classical sound elements like strings and move toward more modern elements of electronic influence. With INNOVA we intend to carry on our rock roots while continuing to move towards electronic arrangements and driving beats.
Do you prefer playing live or working in the studio?
I enjoy both. Our recent evolution has reignited a spark of creativity inside me so I absolutely love writing. At the same time there's just nothing better than being out on the road where we can experience the music right alongside our listeners and get to know them better.
I would say either Bono, or Chris Martin. They both have genius abilities for creating lyrical and melodic snapshots that capture perfectly the human experience in a way that can be felt and understood by so many people, even across cultural boundaries.
What is your favorite album of all time? Why?
I don't think all music can be narrowed down that completely, but if I absolutely had to pick one I would say, Joshua Tree, U2. For me personally, the first three tracks are some of the most powerful songs to ever be written.
How would you define success in your career as a band?
After facing so many ups and downs and ins and outs in this career, I would say we measure success according to the individual impact the music has had on the lives of our listeners, and the ability to continue creating.
What advice would you give to any aspiring young bands/artists out there?
My best advice is to first of all put in your 10,000 hours sharpening your craft, and then take advantage of all the resources that social media has put at your fingertips to propel yourself towards your goals.
You're stuck on an island, it's hot, you only have enough battery life left to listen to one song on your mp3 player. What track is it?
Broken Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley.
What does the next year hold for Dawn Michele & Fireflight?
A lot of excitement and new beginnings! I'll be having a baby early this year and then we will begin touring in support of the release of INNOVA on 5/5/15.

"Hands off!": These couples from the Netflix show are still together!
Netflix increasingly provides us with self-produced reality formats. Unlike other programs, "Finger weg!" (Original title "Too Hot To Handle") was about the participants having to move away from each other to get the prize money. Not everyone made it: the couples emerged from the beginning that they were already hot. We will show you if Francesca, Harry, Rhonda, Sharron and company are still together after the show. Warning, spoilers!
Are Francesca and Harry still together?
There wasn't a couple that broke the show's rules as often and cut the prize money for everyone like Francesca and Harry. Their relationship was not free of jealousy and flirting with others. By the end of the show, the two lovebirds seemed very much in love. But can your relationship survive in the real world? Finally, Francesca Farago from Canada and Harry Jowsey from Australia, highly sought after by most of the male participants. In fact, they both managed to overcome this distance. Francesca already posted a cute couple photo on her Instagram account showing the two in Vancouver, Canada:
Even Francesca managed to visit Harry in his home country after "Hands off!" He also posted an intimate mirror selfie in which the two can be seen playing:
According to an interview with Oprah magazine, the relationship was not as simple as these images would have you believe. Due to the distance, there was actually a breakdown in the relationship, until Harry decided to move to Los Angeles. In the meantime, the two are definitely a couple and according to Harry, they could possibly make the decision to get married.
Reading tip
"Love is blind": these couples from the Netflix show are still together
What happened to Rhonda and Sharron?
Francesca and Harry weren't the only ones to emerge as a couple at a young age. Rhonda Paul and Sharron Townsend also went on an intimate two-way date on the show, in which they decided to start a relationship in front of the camera.
Meanwhile, sadly, things look different. Here, too, the problem is in the great distance: Rhonda lives with her son in Atlanta, while Sharron lives in New Jersey, more than 1,000 km away. After the broadcast, the two had maintained their relationship for a few months, but due to the current crisis situation, the two were unable to meet at all. Sharron was also tied to his hometown due to health problems within his family. The two are still in friendly contact, but we can't count on cute couple photos just yet.
Are Lydia and David a couple now?
Lydia and David also dropped the award money with a passionate French kiss on the show, though David was also very interested in Chloe and Rhonda before Lydia joined later.
Unfortunately, one searches in vain for couple photos with these two. Both have used the attention of the Netflix show to develop their influencer careers. According to his own account, David of London is currently single.
Selling Sunset: Why We Are Extremely Excited About This Netflix Show!
The other participants do that now
Although almost all the participants in the program flirted with one or the other, there were no other couples. There was still a surprise after the broadcast, though: Nicole O'Brien and Bryce Hirschberg, who hadn't gotten close on the show, met at an all-cast gathering in Mexico. The two have been in a long-distance relationship since spring 2019, but are currently unable to see each other due to the Corona crisis.
The show not only brought the couples together, but also created real friendships. Chloe and Nicole have always been seen together on the show and even lived together for a time in a shared apartment in London. For the future, the two are planning a joint project: Chloe and Nicole want to talk about relationship problems and other topics on a podcast. We are excited!

Q: output one instance of a data set that could have multiple occurrences I am having problems sifting through a MySQL query I am trying to strip. I am trying to basically take a column, pull every single entry for that column in a table and then strip it to only show one occurrence even if it happens more than once. So if the value of "bob" shows up more than once I only want it to output once, Everything I have tried either makes it so nothing outputs, or it still outputs ever occurrence of it.
My Code:
 $query = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT org FROM accounts");
                     while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {
                        $holder = array();
                        $validate = false;
                        array_push($holder, $row['org']);
                        for ($i=0; $i <= count($holder); $i++) {
                            if($holder[$i]!=$row['org']){
                                $validate =  true;
                            }
                        }
                        if ($validate){
                        ?>
                        <option><?php echo $row['org']?></option>
                        <?php
                        }
                     }

A: There's a php function called in_array() which lets you search through an array for a specific value without having to write your own loop. So you could replace your entire loop with something like this:
if ( ! in_array( $row['org'], $holder ) )
    // your code here

However, your problem is that you're re-initialising the $holder variable to a blank array for every row. You need to store that variable outside the while loop if you wanted to use the above method. For example:
 $query = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT org FROM accounts");
 $holder = array();
 while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {
    if ( ! in_array( $row['org'], $holder ) ) {
        array_push($holder, $row['org']);

        ?>
        <option><?php echo $row['org']?></option>
        <?php
    }
 }

However, you can also select DISTINCT values from a MySQL query, which is probably what you want to do:
 $query = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT DISTINCT org FROM accounts");
 while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {
    ?>
    <option><?php echo $row['org']?></option>
    <?php
 }

Pele and Maradona: Every Ballon d'Or winner if non-European players were always eligible | OneFootball
Pele and Maradona: Every Ballon d'Or winner if non-European players were always eligible
The Ballon d'Or is due to make a triumphant return in 2021.
Ballon d'Or set to return
With France Football's prestigious prize spending 2020 on ice due to the global situation, fans are rubbing their hands together at the prospect of seeing the world's best player crowned again.
After all, it feels like an eternity ago that Lionel Messi made history by winning the title for a record-breaking sixth time, ousting what was undoubtedly a stunning 2019 from Virgil van Dijk.
No doubt the Barcelona star will be in contention for a seventh trophy by the time this year's ceremony rolls around, but make no mistake that there will be plenty of rivals to win the accolade.
Man Utd AGREED Varane Terms & Deal (Football Terrace)
Ballon d'Or's legendary history
From Robert Lewandowski to N'Golo Kante and dare we even suggest Jorginho, there is no shortage of competition from world-class footballers to be crowned the best of the best.
And whoever is unveiled as the world's best player over the last 12 months will take their place in the history books alongside previous winners who range from truly iconic to simply legendary.
However, anyone who has ever traced their finger back through the list of previous Ballon d'Or winners will be acutely aware that France Football's prize hasn't always been a worldwide affair.
How the Ballon d'Or has changed
Given the limitations of technology and transport at the time of the accolade's establishment in 1956, it was nigh on impossible for players outside of Europe to be fairly judged and compared.
As such, it wasn't until 1995 that players of a non-European origin became eligible and 2007 marked the moment when playing in European leagues no longer became a criteria for selection.
Now, it doesn't take a footballing expert to establish that those criteria meant that footballing legends like Diego Maradona and Pele ended their career without Ballon d'Or trophies.
However, not only was the situation remedied by both players being given honorary Ballon d'Or prizes, but France Football decided to do a retrospective into the winners for their 60th anniversary.
Alternate Ballon d'Or history
In a review cited as recently as October 2020 by the publication, France Football hypothetically revised the list of Ballon d'Or winners in a world where non-European players were always eligible.
The result? Nothing short of fascinating, so be sure to check out their adjusted, albeit unofficial, batch of winners down below:
1958: Pele
Real winner: Omar Sívori
1962: Garrincha
Real winner: Josef Masopust
Real winner: Lev Yashin
Real winner: Denis Law
Real winner: Gerd Muller
1978: Mario Kempes
Real winner: Kevin Keegan
1986: Diego Maradona
Real winner: Igor Belanov
Real winner: Lothar Matthäus
1994: Romario
Real winner: Hristo Stoichkov
Pele leads the way with 7 titles
There you have it, France Football essentially admitted that Messi wouldn't be the most successful footballer in the history of the Ballon d'Or had all footballers been permitted from day one.
However, it is worth saying that the French publication explained that Pele faced far less competition than, say, Maradona did during the 1980s, hence why the Brazilian bags himself so many plaques.
As such, it's worth taking Pele's mind-boggling total of seven Ballon d'Or titles with a pinch of salt but even then, there's no denying that he deserves a hatful of the famous golden ball.
That being said, if there's one way that Messi can put his status in the GOAT debate beyond dispute then matching the number of Ballon d'Or trophies that Pele might have bagged would be it.
Who has won more Champions League titles?
Cristiano Ronaldo Lionel Messi
Brazil Football
Jorginho Frello Filho
N'Golo Kante

Q: In php-mysql, How should I write the variable $row['disease_$lang2'] in while sentence? I am writing the programming step by step. At last I met the php code for the result display from the sql query.
I test the echo $sql and that works well.
and I test the rest. This is my php code as like below
 $sql = "SELECT code_co.code, code_co.disease_co, code_$lang2.disease_$lang2
 FROM code_co  LEFT JOIN code_$lang2 ON code_$lang2.code = code_co.code
 WHERE code_co.code = '".$code."'";

 $result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);

 echo "
";

   echo "
";
  echo "Code	";
  echo "병명	";
  echo "Disease name	";

  echo "
";
   while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "
";
  echo "" . $row['code'] . "	";
  echo "" .$row['disease_co']."	";
  echo "".$row['disease_."$lang2"']."	";
  echo "
";
  }
  echo "
";

$row['code'] and $row['disease_co'] are good output. But $row['disease_."$lang2"'] is not.
How should I write that variable correctly?
Please, help me.

A: Just concat it:
  echo "".$row['disease_'.$lang2]."	";

or
  echo "".$row["disease_$lang2"]."	";

A: use it
 echo "".$row['disease_'.$lang2]."	";

A: You can use following code:
$row['disease_'.$lang2]; // (.) dot concatenates variable with disease_.

A: You can do this, which is just a minor edit to your current code:
//Assuming that the variable name is $lang2

$sql = "SELECT code_co.code, code_co.disease_co, code_{$lang2}.disease_{$lang2} FROM code_co  LEFT JOIN code_{$lang2} ON code_{$lang2}.code = code_co.code WHERE code_co.code = '".$code."'";

PHP allows you to expand variables inside double-quotes using the {} braces

As developers, we are extremely lucky: the demand for our skills is high, the job is cool, the salary is good. But most of all, we can work from home!
The rise of new ways of communicating has deeply impacted the work environment. While our grandfathers used to work on the assembly lines of Ford industries, we are lucky enough to see our assembly line is dematerialized: we can build cars without being in the same physical location.
And this is not the beginning: some companies, like Gitlab, have already made the full transition with all of their employees working remotely.
So, ready to jump in?
Why is working remotely so in vogue?
Before considering remote work, let's see why it has become a thing. Is it just a trend? What's in it for you and for your company?
Working from home is not just a hipster trend. A 2018 report from Owl Labs shows that, globally, 56% of companies allow remote work, 16% being full-remote and 40% hybrid. With individual surveys, we learn that 52% of employees work from home at least once a week and 68% at least once a month.
Instead of reviewing these perks, I will talk about my own experience and how working from home helped me on a daily basis.
I practice rock climbing but mostly triathlon and regularly train for long distance races like Iron Mans. Planning training sessions for three sports every week is like trying to solve a NP hard problem. The volume of exercise ranges between 8 hours and 15 hours depending on the period; often waking up at 5:30 am to swim, then leave the office at night for interval training on the track and field.
All in all, a flexible work schedule is essential to cope with so much exercice. Bad weather? Just reschedule the training on another day. Tired after an intense session? Have a quick nap and start working fresh. Good weather? Let's go for a ride and finish working in the evening.
Working from home improved my recovery and reduced the daily pressure, making me more efficient in my trainings and in my work. In the end, it was beneficial for me and the company I work for.
That's right, working remotely is also good for the company! Offering this opportunity to its employees has a direct return on investment.
First of all, a company with remote workers may not have a strict schedule. Fixed hours are less necessary when people don't meet up in central offices.
I personally wake up at 6am and start working at 7am, sometimes riding in the morning and finishing work later. But others, who are rather night-owls, would prefer working late in the evening. Having this mix of working hours is a strength: more time frames to follow operations, to develop, test and review stories asynchronously, to collaborate with colleagues in different time zones.
Secondly, as a company develops a remote friendly policy, an atmosphere of trust sets in. Employees feel valued and independent. It's a give and take agreement between the two parties: the company states "we are confident the work will be done on your own from your place", employees honors this with a "we will do our best in respect of this trust".
The report by Owl Labs shows that companies offering remote-friendly options see 25% less turnover than those that do not!
It makes a lot of sense: if companies want to develop the best working environment for their employees, what's better than home?
Finally, with more and more remote processes in place, companies can start hiring from any location around the world. Its head hunters can now track the best of the best in the tech industry, and diversifying the working time frames, the profiles, the cultures, the education by doing so.
It is a key competitive advantage in the fast-paced tech market.
"The reason we were able to build a bootstrapped software company is because we could hire the best global talent available at the rates we could afford to pay, allowing us to grow the business with the revenue. It's clear to me that remote employees stay longer, work harder, and offer better ROI over co-located employees."
Working remotely has a lot of perks, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There are drawbacks and it requires a specific state of mind. What do you need to consider before taking the leap?
This list sounds obvious, but its effects can only be felt when experienced. The main cause: no physical or visual interaction.
The loneliness only kicks in after several days; you don't get interrupted anymore but you start realizing how much humans are made to group up and take on challenges together as a community. With loneliness comes a motivation drop, it's the difference between running a marathon alone or in a race. Being surrounded with fellow runners, sharing the experience and the pain, having people cheer on you, all these factors help you reach the finish line and beat your record. Humans work better as a group, that's how it is.
As you work/run alone, the mind wanders to other occupations. It's very easy to lose focus and forget the daily goal. You don't have eyes on motivated colleagues fixing bugs like tech gurus and developing new algorithms like mad scientists. No one is around to remind you of the product deadlines.
Separation obviously impacts collaboration as well. The simplest interactions become tricky. Peer-coding, reviews and quick knowledge transfers take much more time because the whole communication process becomes asynchronous.
If it's better for the company as a whole, it can feel depressing for employees desperately waiting for an answer from the other end. Add to that the misunderstandings that come with text communication: ever realized how easier it is to understand someone when he/she is talking face to face? That's because our senses work together. A good internet connection, audio and video systems are prerequisites for remote work.
Because of the aforementioned struggles, we can safely state that working remotely is not for everyone. It's the same for education: some people learn better without peer pressure, weekly exams and follow-ups, others prefer being tested and ranked among the class.
How can you know if it's made for you? Well, remote work requires three specific personality traits: independence, self-management and an asynchronous mind.
Being independent is the most important trait. First, you must be fully proficient in your daily job. Therefore, it's easier to start working remotely after being properly trained. Second, you must be able to progress without relying on others and look for answers by yourself. The least interactions you need to be efficient and satisfied, the better.
Self-management derives from independence. If you need a manager around you for guidance and motivation, you better stay in the office. Remote workers keep the goals in mind, avoid distractions and quickly report blockers.
Even though we are looking for the least amount of interactions, there will be a time for collaboration, this is when the asynchronous mind comes into play.
Imagine a well-oiled multi-tasking brain that handles several tasks in "parallel". Not waiting for a reply or an answer and always trying to advance one of the tasks. This is the kind of brain you are looking for because most communications will be asynchronous.
Excited about coding from your couch? Ready to give it a try? Then let's see key organization tips for a smooth, efficient and happy remote experience.
As we mentioned, staying motivated and avoiding distractions can get tough. But you should not blame itself for getting distracted one in a while, quite the contrary! It's important to take breaks throughout the day. A single metric matters in this environment: get the work done by the end of the day. You may plan your day freely, start early or finish late, spend one hour on your chores or go out for a lunch with friends as long as the work is delivered.
That's why you must set a daily goal and plan out your day around it. Doing so keeps you motivated to reach this goal and you will freely take breaks as you progress as expected. Having a clear separation between your working station and the rest of your life is essential for this organization to work out: 100% focus and dedication on your goal at your station, complete rest when you're out.
Now that you've set your day, you can share it with your colleagues and managers, typically during a daily standup. Being transparent ensures trust and collaboration.
It's fine to go remote for personal reasons, like waiting for a delivery or training at lunchtime, as long as your team knows when they can and can't reach you.
On the other hand, you must be available when needed. You can't just disappear when a global meeting involving 20 team members across 3 timezones happens. You must seek a mutual transparency relationship with your team in order to deliver in time. Again, the same metric: getting the work done.
We've mostly talked about being organized and efficient but let's not forget about the loneliness that comes with work remotely. Indeed, 21% of employees reported that loneliness was the biggest struggle when working at home, on par with collaboration and communication issues.
Humans have always built communities, first to hunt and survive, then to build and live a good life. It's vital to be part of a group, see other people, create meaningful connections and feel included, even more so in the stressful and challenging environment of the workplace. As you leave office, you end up a lone hunter; the feeling of being kept apart will be even more present if part of the teammates gathers at the office while you stay at home.
Establishing a remote-friendly environment should not be another cause for burnouts and depressions, that's why it is so important to keep the team spirit in such environment. First, make sure camera is on for all calls: seeing the face of friendly colleagues makes a real difference on moral. Also, you can set up calls that are not work related. Gitlab has always encouraged 15-minute "coffee breaks" during which people share about their personal lives. Even in work related communications, don't forget the human touch; just take a few minutes to joke around and build connections with your colleagues.
When you're working remotely, but still relatively close to the office, make sure to include them in social events like meetups and after-works. There's nothing worse than being explicitly left apart. If the team is spread around the world, plan two to three major team building events in a nice location.
The key mindset for managers is to create one inclusive team, a caring family with no distinction of origin, gender, or work location.
When your team members feel the same working home or at the office, you've made it!

I think this piece by Scott Ludlam sums up one of my real fears about what this whole debacle in the Liberal Party really means for Australia. We only have to look at what happened to Julie Bishop to understand what they really think about women (they most definitely showed us the hollow logic they apply to 'merit' based promotion when they didn't promote the person with the best polling figures and probably their best-performing minister). But I feel sick at the thought of what our country is going to look like when it comes to race over the coming years. It is extremely sobering to think how superficial our veneer of non-racism actually is, as has been revealed by the United States recently.
I've been spending a bit of time in the last year or so examining my own racism a bit more carefully. It isn't good enough in the current climate to simply count oneself as one of the good guys. More and more I have been realising that my passivity and inaction are themselves a form of racism. I suppose that is something I always knew, but have not fully taken on board. Anyway, one of the things that I have been trying to do is to read a lot of the comment and commentary and to not get huffy and think, 'Yeah, but …' and then do a bit of a 'not all white people'. There is a particular writer I read on twitter and instagram and she is very funny, but very, very dismissive of white people like me. And I'm trying to think, 'Well, she's got a point,' because she does rather than, 'Yeah, but.' It's surprising how quickly it has become easier to think that way and to feel a very real shift away from it being something I've forced myself to do towards something that comes much more naturally.
Also, I have a couple of emails and letters I need to finish writing. It's the 1980s Amnesty member in me. I can't stop believing that letter-writing is where it's at even though I do know that in 2018 it's all about twitter. But I went back to twitter last week and while I see its value in uniting people, I'm not one of those people and honestly after ten minutes I feel so mentally bruised that I am happy to return to my own quiet little place on the internet, open outlook and begin to tap out my email.
It is getting harder and harder to be proud of this country.
Or even comfortable in it.


Joseph: Having just seen Portugal. The Man at Bonnaroo, where they slayed the late night crowd at the This Tent, I was excited to see what they had to dish out next. I really dug their previous LP, Evil Friends, and absolutely loved the first single off this album, "Feel It Still." Unfortunately, that track is also the only noteworthy track on this entire yawn-fest of an LP. Woodstock is the band's pop-iest album to date, and the transition was anything but smooth. It is extremely forgettable, and hopefully the band quickly goes back to it's previous ways with their next album. Hard pass.
Joseph: Talk about a disappointment. HAIM exploded onto the scene with their solid debut album, 2013's Days Are Gone, But, despite the 4 year break between albums, the sophomore slump has hit the band. Hard. Something to Tell You is an empty LP filled with nothing but lackluster tracks. I've listened to this album several times now, because I thought, "Surely, there's more to it than this." Where's the depth that we got in their debut LP? Where's the quality songwriting we're accustomed to with the Haim sisters? Outside of "I Want You Back" and "Right Now," there's nothing of note here to the point where I'm worried their debut was a fluke. But hopefully it's just the sophomore slump.
Derek: Seven years removed from their last release, BSS return with an album that's both big and beautiful, but also thoughtful and intimate. Filled with brilliantly orchestrated songwriting and socially charged topical lyrics, the group wastes no time protesting against the current social and political environment, and God knows there's plenty to talk about.
Derek: Two albums into their much celebrated reunion stint, The Afghan Whigs show no signs of stopping. Frontman Greg Dulli's voice is as strained and passionate as ever, the band's songwriting is fresh and packed with new, exciting ideas, and In Spades is, in my opinion, their best effort since 1993's Gentleman. The most notable addition on this album are the horns, which create a much fuller, fleshed out sound to contrast with Dulli's vocals. That juxtaposition brings the album to life and makes songs full of desperation and helplessness feel just a bit hopeful.

Antal Doráti – The Mozart & Haydn Recordings on Mercury Living Presence
Antal Doráti
Antal Doráti's complete Haydn and Mozart recordings for Mercury, predating his landmark collection of the Haydn cycle for Decca.
In 1966 the Stereo Review critic made a prescient observation: 'Doráti here establishes himself as a first-rate Haydn conductor.' There is the passion of advocacy as well as the foundational principles of his Haydn performing style in these early recordings: 'Only a few of his works were done and were always repeated,' Doráti remarked in interview. 'The reason for that, I think, is just human modesty. The taste of a public is modest; they are satisfied with little. But that is why we are here – to show them a wider horizon … Haydn began as a talent and ended up as a genius'.
Unlike many of his colleagues, Doráti took pleasure in the process of recording, establishing a happy and concordant working relationship with the husband-and-wife Mercury team of Robert and Wilma Cozart Fine. One of the first fruits of that relationship was a pairing of Mozart's 40th and Mendelssohn's 4th symphonies, made in Minneapolis where Doráti was music director and released in 1953 (the 'Italian' has been reissued separately by Eloquence, coupled with Doráti's Schumann and more Mendelssohn, 484 0506). There followed Eine kleine Nachtmusik coupled with the 'Linz' in 1956, and a stereo remake of the 40th in 1961. The rarity here is the 'Mozartiana' LP from 1967, gathering up the Overture to Lucio Silla with marches and dances, and never previously issued complete on CD.
In the meanwhile, Doráti had embarked upon what would be the largest Haydn discography of any conductor with the 'Farewell' Symphony, from the same sessions as the stereo remake of Mozart's 40th. He picked a judicious path through mostly named symphonies ('Fire', 'Surprise', 'Military', 'Clock' and 'Drum Roll') calculated to appeal to consumers hitherto hardly familiar with the extent of Haydn's symphonic achievement, conducting the LSO, the Bath Festival Orchestra ('Festival Chamber Orchestra') and his own Philharmonia Hungarica. The fire and brilliance of these early recordings sometimes exceeds the later Decca remakes within Doráti's complete cycle.

"Both of these popular symphonies are given firm, vital readings, employing a large but not swollen orchestra. The precision of the playing is outstanding, and the individual instrumental contributions are beautifully realized." Stereo Review, July 1965 (Haydn Nos. 94 & 100)
"Doráti has frequently shown himself to be an unusually perceptive conductor of the symphonies of Haydn and Mozart, and this is the case with his recording of the 'Linz', a fleet and intimate performance that also has considerable poetry. It is splendidly played by the London Symphony Orchestra and recorded with transparent clarity." Stereo Review


Now for the holidays, and not least for New Year's, many tables need to be decorated – so I just wanted to forward a few tricks in giving the table that joyous and festive spirit.
The always inspiringly creative gal Underbaraclara has put tealights on the cake stand and in small baking tins scattered around on the table. Simple, pretty and cozy. As placemats she uses something sheer and intricate: cake paper! The odd porcelain and the napkins have a uniform colour scale. Conclusion: You don't need to spend a fortune to make the table festive! Make the best of what's around and you'll get that personal feel that make hearts warm.


Herbivore-induced chemical and molecular responses of the kelps Laminaria digitata and Lessonia spicata.
Kelps are founding species of temperate marine ecosystems, living in intertidal coastal areas where they are often challenged by generalist and specialist herbivores. As most sessile organisms, kelps develop defensive strategies to restrain grazing damage and preserve their own fitness during interactions with herbivores. To decipher some inducible defense and signaling mechanisms, we carried out metabolome and transcriptome analyses in two emblematic kelp species, Lessonia spicata from South Pacific coasts and Laminaria digitata from North Atlantic, when challenged with their main specialist herbivores. Mass spectrometry based metabolomics revealed large metabolic changes induced in these two brown algae following challenges with their own specialist herbivores. Targeted metabolic profiling of L. spicata further showed that free fatty acid (FFA) and amino acid (AA) metabolisms were particularly regulated under grazing. An early stress response was illustrated by the accumulation of Sulphur containing amino acids in the first twelve hours of herbivory pressure. At latter time periods (after 24 hours), we observed FFA liberation and eicosanoid oxylipins synthesis likely representing metabolites related to stress. Global transcriptomic analysis identified sets of candidate genes specifically induced by grazing in both kelps. qPCR analysis of the top candidate genes during a 48-hours time course validated the results. Most of these genes were particularly activated by herbivore challenge after 24 hours, suggesting that transcriptional reprogramming could be operated at this time period. We demonstrated the potential utility of these genes as molecular markers for herbivory by measuring their inductions in grazed individuals of field harvested L. digitata and L. spicata. By unravelling the regulation of some metabolites and genes following grazing pressure in two kelps representative of the two hemispheres, this work contributes to provide a set of herbivore-induced chemical and molecular responses in kelp species, showing similar inducible responses upon specialist herbivores in their respective ecosystems.

AFC Fylde boss Jim Bentley makes most of extra preparation time for FA Cup clash with Altrincham
Everything is unusual at these times but AFC Fylde boss Jim Bentley has tried to keep preparations for Sunday's big match against Altrincham in the FA Cup as normal as possible.
Friday, 23rd October 2020, 8:00 am
New Fylde signing Reagan Ogle (right) playing for Accrington Stanley against Blackpool in the EFL Trophy
Fylde sign academy defender Byrne and rearrange two fixtures
Bentley's Coasters won four games in the first 11 days of the season but have since been forced into an 11-day break before this weekend's fourth qualifying round tie at Mill Farm.
The wait between matches can't have helped Fylde's early-season momentum but Bentley told The Gazette they are fully prepared and motivated to face the team who replaced them in the National League, with a place in the first round proper at stake.
The Fylde boss said: "The preparations this week have been slightly different because we're not used to playing on a Sunday but it's the FA Cup so there will be no problems getting up for the game.
"We played Altrincham only recently (a 2-2 draw in Fylde's final pre-season game a month ago). We respect them and we know they are a good side but we want to progress and that's our plan.
"We've used the time well. We gave the players a couple of days off but also did some good work and some analysis work, so we're all geared up to try to win the game.
"We've been preparing not just for this game but for a batch of games coming up.
"We've won four out of four and it's always about improving and getting your thoughts into the players. They are showing really good signs of taking information on board."
The tie has been pushed back to Sunday (1pm kick-off) to allow all staff at Altrincham to complete a 14-day isolation period under coronavirus guidelines.
The National League North play-off winners last played a fortnight ago and are awaiting their first win after three games in non-league's top tier.
But neither the competition nor the opposition will alter Bentley's preparations greatly. He added: "I approach an FA Cup game just the same as a league game really. Obviously when you are playing a team from a higher division you will prepare a little bit differently and work on your defensive play, but we are happy that we can perform to the best of our ability and we're looking forward to it.
"One player who will be extra-motivated is (Fylde's new striker) Jordan Hulme. He won promotion with Altrincham last season and was still playing for them until a few weeks ago. He is settling in and showing really good signs."
Another player who could be involved on Sunday is Reagle Ogle, the Australian full-back newly arrived from Accrington Stanley.
Bentley said: "Reagan can play on either side of the field and he knows the National League with Southport.
"He is a determined player, a good character and we've signed him at a good age (21). I'm pleased to have him because it's one area we were a little light. He's keen, knows the level and I'm sure he will do OK."


Discussion in 'Spurs News & Views' started by NaijaSpurs, 6 Jun 2017.
Yesterday was the best i have seen him play for us, i know it was against a poor side but even so he showed more then he has so far ( imo).
Yes, it's pretty easy to look good in a wingback role against one of the weakest teams to ever play in the Prem.
Maybe he is like Trippier and Cheatski's Alonso - a good wingback but not a great fullback? Not sure, too early to tell.
he's growing so let's enjoy it for as long as it lasts. don't think we can write him off just yet.

School bus Wifi provides necessary resource for students' education
ByMatthew Crane January 23, 2023 January 23, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes
Students can spend a lot of time on buses, whether commuting between their homes and school daily or taking part in school-sponsored activities outside the area.
As internet access becomes integral to completing schoolwork, spending hours on a bus without access to the internet can lead to late nights at home completing that work. To address this issue, the Southwest Dubois County School Corporation is adding Wifi to the majority of its fleet of buses. Beginning this week, 16 corporation buses will provide WiFi with access to the school corporation's filtered internet.
The initiative began as a way to address the lack of internet access among the corporation's students, which became readily apparent when in-person learning wasn't available during the early stage of the pandemic. As students and their families huddled around areas with publicly accessible WiFi, like the Huntingburg Public Library, Huntingburg City Park and Fourth Street, the corporation began taking steps to create more internet access points.
Early on, this took the form of mobile hotspots available to be checked out. But these devices could only support a couple of students at a time. The idea to add WiFi to buses began to coalesce around the plan to park the buses in public spaces to provide access at a larger scale as the closure progressed. Then, as schools slowly returned to normal, Southwest continued to explore adding WiFi to buses.
According to Katy Beck, the corporation's Instructional Technology Director, the addition meets the student's needs in a couple of ways. Students that take part in classes at other schools or who are enrolled in special courses offered off-campus will be able to do their work while on the bus to these locations. Students like those enrolled in the 4T Academy at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing plant in Princeton. "Those students are on the bus for about an hour each way," she explained. "So, this provides them access to be able to complete their homework while traveling to and from Princeton."
This will also assist the corporation's many student-athletes as well.
"We also wanted to make sure that we give students opportunities to work on their homework when they're traveling to athletic events after school," Beck said.
It also allows students with longer commutes between school and home to be able to work on their homework.
And, if it ever becomes necessary for students to return to virtual learning, the corporation could park the buses in public spaces to create large hotspots in the district.
"This provides opportunities for learning for all of our kids," Beck said.
While some students have unlimited internet access through their personal cell phone plans, many students do not have the same luxury. If the school corporation is using online instruction to teach its students, providing access for all students is essential. The bus WiFi will help meet that need, according to Beck.


A fully waterproof poncho that folds into its own attached pouch (secured by press-studs).
Q: Can you tell me what the dimensions of this poncho are when it's fully opened?
A: The approximate size for the poncho when laid flat are Width-57.5" , Height-39" and the hood measures approx 20" in length.
Q: It can get pretty hot when playing Airsoft. Is this one breathable?
A: It's not breathable, but as it tends to be open at the bottom it isn't usually such an issue.
Good value for your money, great poncho!
Keeps you protected, even after longer periods of use in heavy rain. Dries quickly. You can secure it round your waist with a cord, so it won't blow upwards in the wind (mountains, beach). Your rucksack will fit under it, the hood is made to fit a helmet, but you can reseize it easily. You can use it as a canopy or lean-to. With two or more you can make yourself a larger tent. I use it also on the bicycle, great. Only not suitable for use near fires!

PART OF THE International Publishing ISSUE
'Without doubt there is a desire for Scottish authors to be translated and sold overseas.'
The Translation Fund, facilitated by Publishing Scotland, is now in its third year and encourages international publishers to translate works by Scottish writers by providing money toward the cost of the translation. Here Publishing Scotland's Lucy Feather explains the process behind the funding and reveals some of the brilliant books from Scottish authors that have gone on to find new readers in Italy, Estonia, Croatia and many more.
The Translation Fund is now in its third year and was set up to encourage international publishers to translate works by Scottish writers by providing money toward the cost of the translation. We were delighted to be able to help Creative Scotland administer this project as it is a fantastic way of pushing Scottish writing to the forefront of the international publishing scene as well as getting fairly new authors a bigger audience. One of the criteria of the award is that the work is contemporary. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, graphic novels and children's literature have all received funding since the fund launched in 2015.
Kerry Hudson's Tony Hogan Bought Me an Ice-cream Float Before He Stole My Ma published in Italian by Minimum Fax
Scottish authors works who have received funding for translation include Louise Welsh, Malachy Tallack, Graeme Macrae Burnet, Sara Maitland, Edward Ross, Lucy Ribchester, Allan Massie, Amy Liptrott, Jenni Fagan, Gavin Francis as well as more well-known writers such as Jackie Kay, Maggie O'Farrell, Ian Rankin, Ali Smith, Alexander McCall Smith, Nan Shepherd, James Robertson and James Kelman. Their mix of genre and talent is a great representation of all that is good on the current Scottish writing and publishing scene.
The reach thus far too has been brilliant – international publishers have received funding from countries such as Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Norway, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Macedonia, Istanbul, The Netherlands and Slovenia. And this year we have received applications from Russia, Korea and Sweden as well!
Jenni Fagan's The Panopticon published in Croatian by Hena Com
The take-up of the fund is growing, which is great to see. Without doubt there is an interest in Scottish authors and a desire for them to be translated and sold overseas. Sadly it is not possible to fund all the applications that come in. The panel comprises former publishers, translators, writers and representatives from Publishing Scotland and Creative Scotland, who have a tough job making the decisions with the money available. They look for applications for books they feel would sell in that particular foreign market, the publishers back-list and how this title would fit, the budget and marketing plan provided from the applicant and very importantly the credentials of the translator assigned to the project.
It may be several months later that the translation project of a funded title is complete, and part of the criteria is that we are sent copies, one for the National Library of Scotland Legal Deposit archive and one for us. So it is a delight when they come in to the Publishing Scotland office and we see how the covers change and the impressions they give us can be so different in another language. We enjoy publicising the project and tweet pictures of these covers as they come in.
Ali Smith's How To Be Both published in Italian by Big Sur
Overall, it's a little insight into publishing houses from other countries and wonderful to see how we are able to influence their output a little with this fund. This fund is an exciting opportunity for international publishers to engage with Scottish material at a global level and we hope it will continue in the future.
Round 2 2016/17
There were 21 applicants for round 2 funding and 8 publishers and books received awards:
His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet in Estonian by Varrak
Haramada Publications, Greece, to translate Filmish: A Graphic Journey through Film – Edward Ross (Selfmadehero, 2015)
L'Altra Editorial, Spain, to translate This Must be the Place – Maggie O'Farrell (Tinder, 2016)
Ergon Publishing, Bulgaria, to translate School Ship Tobermory – Alexander McCall Smith (Birlinn, 2015)
Varrak Publisher, Estonia, to translate His Bloody Project – Graeme Macrae Burnet (Saraband, 2016)
The Undiscovered Islands by Malachy Tallack published in Norwegian by Vega Forlag
Vega Forlag AS, Norway, to translate The Undiscovered Islands – Malachy Tallack (Polygon/ Birlinn 2016)
Editions Metailie, France, to translate Dirt Road – James Kelman (Canongate, 2016)
Edition Steinrich, Germany, to translate A Book of Silence – Sara Maitland (Granta, 2008)
Crocetti Editore, Fondazione Poesia Onlus, Italy, to translate Darling – New & Selected Poems – Jackie Kay (Bloodaxe, 2007)
The Translation Fund was launched on 25 August 2015 at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. It is administered by Publishing Scotland, on behalf of Creative Scotland. Its purpose is to support publishers based outside the UK to buy rights from Scottish and UK publishers and agents by offering assistance with the cost of translation of Scottish writers.

Film 'Target for Tonight' cast list
Thread: Film 'Target for Tonight' cast list
21st July 2010, 22:30 #1
RussG
For pure curiosity's sake I wondered if any forum members could cast any light as to names and/or ranks of any of the RAF actors in the film 'Target for Tonight' (1941).
Apart from the obvious Pickard and 'Speedy' Powell does anyone know any other names or for that matter any a/c serials of the Wellingtons involved.
Many thanks in advance,
Arthur Arculus
Auckland. NZ
I believe there was a small Ministry of Information booklet of the same title of the film published during the war that may have your answer.
Looked through all my copies of MoI booklets I collected at the time of publication, but no luck.

Wiltshire UK
This is a review of the DVD offered by Amazon.co.uk ---
"This review is from: Target For Tonight (Collector's Edition) IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM (DVD)
This Collector's Edition DVD from the Imperial War Museum is not to be confused with
the "Target for Tonight" DVD produced in 2004 Target For Tonight [DVD]
The Imperial War Museum's DVD contains only the original footage that was made at a time when we were losing the War in 1941 and 1942.
The title is taken from the 1941 information film "Target for Tonight" made by the Crown Film Unit, a documentary film about a raid on Freihausen after reconnaisance photographs showed a build up of rail and canal works with oil installations. The film concentrates on a Wellington bomber "F for Freddie". No actors were used in the entire film only those RAF personnel who were involved in the orgainsing and carrying out of this raid. Voted "Best Documemtary" by the National Board of Review in 1941, the film won an honorary Academy Award in 1942.
The remainder of the DVD includes training films for the Wellington bomber; how a bomber was built in less than 30 hours in workers spare time; and a shorter version of Target for Tonight.
Bonuses include - Newsreel footage of the bombing raids on St Malo docks using Bostons and heavy bombers on Bremen, also the Mosquito raid on Amiens prison; a Pathe report on the RAF raids on Cologne and the Ruhr, and the Luffewaffe raid on Canterbury."
Thanks Anne and Digger,
I have the DVD, in fact I was watching it last night which provoked the question. I was interested to know if any names could be attributed to the cast apart from Pickard and Powell.
I have seen the small booklet but never had a chance to read it. They seem to be very rare and difficult to get hold of and as far as I know never have been re-published.
Hi Russ, I think I have somewhere the booklet. If I will be able to find it I will check it out.
Jim C
One of the Sergeants in the F for Freddie crew looks very much like Gordon Jackson, who later starred in Upstairs Downstairs and The Professionals.
According to the many biographies on the net he didn't make his film debut until the following year in 'The Foreman Went To France' so maybe it wasn't him, and of course the 'actors' were serving airmen, although Jackson was a draughtsman at Rolls-Royce.
The film can be seen on Google videos -
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8431303064260070573#
David Gunby
I have the booklet, Target for Tonight, published by Hutchinson, price 6d.
It identifies no-one. Annoyingly, I cannot find some correspondence I had years ago about the crew of F for Freddy, which provided all the names. But my memory dimly recalls that the rear gunner was a New Zealander named Harris, who survived the war.
Further to that, the Observer's name was Gordon Woollatt.
23rd July 2010, 07:56 #9
Thanks Jim and David,
Now you mention it Gordon Woollatt rings a bell with me. I can also remember a series called 'The Secret War' where William Woollard interviews a crew menber of Pickards, a navigator I believe but I can't remember if he was in the film. He also mentioned in that same series the neither 'F' Freddy or the crew survived the war. Since I cannot find Woollatts name on the CWGC website it seems at least he did.
Jim, I can see what you mean about one of the sergeants looking like Gordon Jackson but I don't think its him. Also I don't think he ever served as aircrew.

Just in case --- film reviews but no help with castings
http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/577991/index.html
Google -Wikipedia [if true ?] & above sites
The film was shot at RAF Mildenhall and at the real RAF Bomber Command headquarters in High Wycombe[1] with the then-current head of Bomber Command Sir Richard Peirse appearing in the film. Squadron Leader Dickson, the captain of 'F for Freddie', was played by Percy Pickard, who went on to lead the real-life Operation Biting and the later Operation Jericho raid on Amiens Prison. The second pilot was played by Gordon Woollatt. Although the film was about a bomber squadron flying Wellingtons the aircraft shown on the movie poster are actually Boulton Paul Defiant fighters.
